Restore is a free, confidential, and non-judgmental post-abortion program that helps teens and adults process through painful emotions from one or multiple abortions. We have five office locations in DuPage County.
Since 1 in 3 women will experience an abortion by the time they’re 45, chances are you or someone you know has had an abortion.
Often, the symptoms following an abortion are not extreme. Women go on with their lives. But something lingers under the surface … a pain … a sadness…
It may have happened a long time ago … or it may have happened recently.
Many describe the following reactions to an abortion loss:
- guilt
- anger – toward yourself or others involved in the decision
- depression
- difficulty sleeping
- anxiety
- nightmares or flashbacks
- self-destructive behaviors
- preoccupation with fertility issues
- avoidance behavior: avoiding anything to do with babies, abortion, etc.
- bonding issues with existing children
- trust issues with your spouse or partner
- feelings of isolation, that you’re the only one
- shame – the need to keep the abortion a secret
The Restore Facebook page is designed to spread a message of hope and healing to anyone suffering from a past abortion experience. Restore reserves the right to remove any comment or post that conflicts with our messaging of grace, forgiveness, and love.
